The
Command & Conquer website has news of the cancellation of the upcoming
free-to-play Command & Conquer revival, and
Polygon has word that this also means the closure of its developer Victory
Studios. "The team at Victory Games will be disbanded," an Electronic Arts
spokesperson told Polygon. "Wherever possible, we are working to help these
talented people find other opportunities within EA." Here's word from the
website:

Thank you for your participation over the last few months in the
Command & Conquer closed alpha test. Itís been much appreciated, and youíve been
instrumental in helping define what a new Command & Conquer experience should
and shouldnít be.

Part of being in a creative team is the understanding that not all of your
choices are going to work out. In this case, we shifted the game away from
campaign mode and built an economy-based, multiplayer experience. Your feedback
from the alpha trial is clear: We are not making the game you want to play. That
is why, after much difficult deliberation, we have decided to cease production
of this version of the game. Although we deeply respect the great work done by
our talented team, ultimately itís about getting you the game you expect and
deserve.

Over the next 10 days we will be refunding any and all money spent in the alpha.
If you have a question about your refund, please contact help.ea.com.

We believe that Command & Conquer is a powerful franchise with huge potential
and a great history, and we are determined to get the best game made as soon as
possible. To that end, we have already begun looking at a number of alternatives
to get the game back on track. We look forward to sharing more news about the
franchise as it develops. Thank you again for your participation and
support.
